# Render an email

`GET /v1/design_studio/emails/{id}/render`

Returns email-ready HTML. Use this endpoint to inspect your compiled markup.

Liquid tags are left intact—`{{customer.first_name}}` stays in the output as written. To evaluate liquid against real profile data instead, use [Preview an email](/integrations/api/app/tag/design-studio-emails/previewEmail/).

The render, preview, review, link, and publish endpoints share a rate limit of 5 requests per second per workspace.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Response `200`

Successful response

  - `node_id` string, uuid — The UUID of the rendered email node.
  - `node_type` 'EMAIL' — Always `"EMAIL"`.
  - `html` string — Full HTML with liquid tags left intact.
  - `text` string — Plain text version of the email. Omitted unless you added a plain text version when you [created the email](/integrations/api/app/tag/design-studio-emails/createEmail/).
  - `language` string — Language code if the node is a translation (for example, `"es"`). Omitted for default-language nodes.
  - `amp` string — AMP HTML variant. Omitted unless you added an AMP version when you [created the email](/integrations/api/app/tag/design-studio-emails/createEmail/).

## Other responses
